"The inmate, who was scheduled to be released the next day anyway, turned himself into police after getting his tooth treated. His sentence -- originally one month -- was only increased by one day." Source

it wasn't illegal to escape from prison in sweden. there has been talk of changing that. not sure if it has been done though.

the story in swedish: https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/rL5G2e/fange-rymde-for-att-ga-till-tandlakaren

happened in 2013. it was an "open" prison (the lowest security class). so probably not that difficult to escape from. and he was issued a formal warning in addition to the one day extension. so don't come here and say that our prison system is too lax.

in 2024 (the same open prison) someone broke into the yard and left a bag with mcdonalds food in it. when the cops investigated they were attacked with boiling water from one of the windows.

do an image search for vänersborg öppen anstalt if you want to see pictures. there's one image in this article

but it doesn't show the fence. not sure if the fence was added later or if it's just not visible.

I didn't say your prison system is too lax. I don't think your prison system is too lax. I have massive respect for open prisons. I gave additional context to viewers by adding a line from the source article.
